Abstract: Vascular endothelial growth factor-B (VEGF-B) and vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) are angiogenic polypeptides. It has been shown that VEGF-B and -C are angiogenic in vitro especially in combination with bFGF. VEGF-C also increases plasminogen activator (PA) activity in bovine endothelial cell lines and this is accompanied by a concomitant increase in PA inhibitor-1. Addition of alpha-2-antiplasmin to bovine endothelial cells co-treated with bFGF and VEGF-C partially inhibits collagen gel invasion.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods whereby the positions of peptide amide groups that are labeled with a heavy hydrogen in a polypeptide or protein can be localized at high resolution. The methods are useful for determining which peptide amide groups in a polypeptide or protein are accessible to solvent, mapping the binding site and/or binding surface of a binding protein, and/or studying allosteric or other conformational changes in a polypeptide or protein which alter the rates at which certain peptide amide hydrogens exchange with solvent.

Patent EP-1034505-A1 (EP)
Inventor: IOURCHA KONSTANTINE
IPC: H03M7/30
Filed: 1998-09-28
Abstract: An image processing system (205) includes an image encoder system (220) and an image decoder system (230) that are coupled together. The image encoder system (220) includes an image decomposer (315) and a block encoder (318) that are coupled together. The block encoder (318) includes a color quantizer (335) and a bitmap construction module (340). The image decomposer (315) breaks an original image into blocks. Each block (260) is then processed by the block encoder (318a-nth). Specifically, the color quantizer (335) selects some number of base points, or codewords, that serve as reference pixel values, such as colors, from which quantized pixel values are derived. The bitmap construction module (340) then maps each pixel colors to one of the derived quantized colors. The codewords and bitmap are output as encoded image blocks (320). The decoder system (230) includes a block decoder (505a-mth). The block decoder (505a-mth) includes a block type detector (520), one or more decoder units, and an output selector (523). Using the codewords of the encoded data blocks, the comparator and the decoder units determine the quantized colors for the encoded image block and map each pixel to one of the quantized colors. The output selector (523) outputs the appropriate color, which is ordered in an image composer with the other decoded blocks to output an image representative of the original image. A method for encoding an original image and for decoding the encoded image to generate a representation of the original image is also disclosed.

Title: Regroupement de donnees multidimensionnelles et reduction des dimensions pour l'indexation et la recherche
Inventor: CASTELLI VITTORIO
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1998-10-27
Abstract: L'invention concerne une technique d'indexation de données multidimensionnelles améliorée qui génère des index compacts de telle sorte que la plupart ou la totalité de l'index peut résider dans la mémoire principale à tout moment. Pendant le regroupement et la réduction de la dimensionnalité, des informations relatives à ce regroupement et cette réduction sont générées pour être utilisées dans une phase de recherche ultérieure. La technique d'indexation peut être efficace même en présence de variables qui ne sont pas fortement corrélées. D'autres fonctions permettent d'assurer des recherches proches et exactes avec efficacité à l'aide de ces informations relatives au regroupement et à la réduction. Un exemple de la réduction de la dimensionnalité utilise une technique de décomposition des valeurs singulières. Le procédé peut être appliqué de manière récursive à chacun des groupes de dimensionnalité réduite. La réduction de la dimensionnalité peut être appliquée à la totalité de la base de données comme première étape de la génération d'un index.

Abstract: There are disclosed a diagnostic method and kits for SCAIII syndrome. The method comprises attaching a portion of SCAIII gene containing copies of 73 trinucleotide (CAG) repeat units to a substrate; amplifying a DNA segment containing copies of the trinucleotide repeat units from the genomic DNA of a testee using two labeled primers under the suitable condition for carrying out polymerase chain reaction (PCR); hybridizing the gene with the PCR product by amplifying DNA segment; and analyzing the results of the hybridization. A SCAIII patient can be effectively diagnosed by examining the increase extent of the number of the TNR characteristic of the disease-associated gene with the aid of reverse dot hybridization technique or PCR-MPH. Useful for the diagnosis is a kit which comprises the substrate, two primers with a detectable label, which are used to amplify a DNA segment containing copies of the trinucleotide repeat unit from the genomic DNA of a testee, a buffer and a polymerase for polymerase chain reaction, a buffer for gene hybridization and an enzyme for color detection.
